I always binge the easier GM nightfalls every season, so my three mailboxes are always full of the stuff. The convenience of having it all in one place is worth it. Character switching to maximize golfballs is an annoyance.

I'm not bothered so much by the golf balls, I think it's very rare to ever need or want to hold on to more than 30 of them, piss crystals, I dunno. I've gone through gear purges in my vault across all my characters and wound up with a lot of crystals left over. I guess at least now it'll be easier to just convert them into golf balls.

In theory yes, but it may not be possible to get there as you won't be able to enter season 22 with more than 40 and then the drop rules change and you may not get any more

I think he means the 10 in each postmaster (30) will be safe there forever, and then the inventory will be able to hold 30 now.

So we've got 60, but we can only spend 30 at a time.

The inventory will be able to hold 30, but it depends on what "at the cap" means. If it just checks inventory, you can earn from 10 up to 30 even with 10/10/10 in postmasters. But if it counts the postmasters, you won't get any more, so you'll be at 10/10/10/10 forever with 20 unused capacity in inventory that you never get a drop for

The problem with the 10 cap was that you really only use them in intervals of 6 so you're spending down your supply in a flash, even if you've been maxed out for a year

30 will be nice and solves the problem Bungie recognized where players fall into one of three categories

- Players who always have 0 golfballs because they don't do Master+ content
- Players who currently have 0 golfballs because they recently engaged in Buildcrafting and spent 'em all
- Players who currently have 10 golfballs because they have not recently engaged in Buildcrafting

There was no population of gamers who just casually earn & spend golfballs while maintaining some gas in the tank

If you hit the cap then you clearly aren't using them. It's not an issue. If you really want then just masterwork some exotics. "But I only get one back for the three!" It doesn't matter. If you're masterworking poo poo often enough then you aren't hitting the cap and if you are hitting the cap then you don't need yet more shards. It's the dumbest thing I have seen so much that basically boils down to "but I want to hooooard" and if that's you then lol

That's quite a rant but the issue Bungie and I have agreed on is that the cap is too low and players oscillate between two undesirable states (empty and at capacity)

The problem is solved and the game is better whether you like it or NOT buster!! Now read my lips! *smiles sincerely because this is great news*

All you really need is enough upgrade materials for the rest of 2023 and all of 2024 then it's Marathon time anyway.

Also if you didn't spend bright dust getting this week's space zeppelin then why even collect it?

So for those of us lame enough to be collecting Bungie's little seal pins - is there not a Flamekeeper pin for this year? I'm hearing that since it was available last year, it's not available for this year, which feels... silly.

I guess I have to wait for one of those events where Bungie offers up old Rewards items again?

It's Seraph Station, Vox and Presage that will part of the rotator at the start, right?

I guess when they add Harbinger Hawkmoon will become craftable.

Yes. Craftable Dead Messenger when

The other takeaway from the blog post is that the raid for next season launches on 9/1 rather than 8/25 as we were expecting, but it's OK because that's a long weekend

DMT and Hawkmoon will be made craftable because their whole thing was having different rolls like legendaries. Dead Messenger only has the one roll, same as any other exotic.

Still could be cool if the sort of "selling point" of the exotic mission rotator (and exotic missions in general) are about craftable exotics to inject some replayability. For the guns they don't want to change too much, just add some catalyst customization.

I'm not sure how I feel about the mention that there will be more veil containment entries in seasons 22 and 23. I guess it's good that they're continuing to develop this thread, but I was kinda hoping they'd change up how it's delivered. Although it's actually written into the dialog for this week that there are only 3 more files to decrypt, so maybe they will change it up a little bit

It's good that they acknowledge a) how the activity was presented in-game left a lot to be desired and b) it's basically a sci-fi/horror podcast

Yeah, hearing it's continuing confused me because of that bit. Maybe it's going to continue in a slightly different fashion - we go and find logs somewhere else / someone else's logs?

Yeah, man, it really sucks when a lesbian couple doesn't get a happily ever after. Like if one of them, say, gets drowned by an oppressive regime or something. Really lovely when that happens in publications.
